Hello everyone,
I have a confession to make. I think I am having a depression. It is really
strange, it must have just started the last few days ago! My appetite is no
longer what it used to be, I wake up in the middle of the night often. I feel
tired and depressed. My stamina to deal with the daily challenge is nowhere to
be found. I am afraid that this state of mind has certainly affected my
attitude at work also. What is it people?
Perhaps it is because of the Fall is approaching again, perhaps I just get off
a strings of days of fun and filled with emotions. That is my first reunion. I
can't excatly described the euphoria that I felt. You all helped me to escape
the pains of life, even for a few hours here and there. I don't remember when
was the last time I had so much fun and emotions, being among friends with so
much love.
It is a rare events where all our memories have a chance to resuscitate. Seeing
you all is quite a sight. Some of you already cropped with white hair, but
walk, talk, and still maintain the same maneurism as I have registered in my
mind well over thirty years ago!
Thanks to this occasion, I have bonded with some old friends and made some new
friends. Just like those fortunate couples who still love each other enough to
renew their vows!
I will not forget ever those precious moments that you all have given me.
Thanks everyone.

In Brigitte Bardot's. Un grand merci to KH for the two
Montreal nights.
Grand merci to the CO's Binh Hien for the very
successful Reunion. Grand merci to Hung&Phuong,
UyThanh&LanAnh, Trong, Thien for giving us rides and
time to snooze between parties (Mr.Le, if you post my
infamous snoozing pic, I will kill ...!!!) If I had to
drive my rental car, I would end up like our TruongBan
Chuyen Lac 8-))
Wow, wow, 3 days of non-stop parties, laughs, who can
ask for more? Hope we can have a yearly reunion
instead of every two years.
Already missing you all.
